    I guess like most people my age (44) Ali got me interested.But my real interest started with Jim Watt(very underated) and Colin Jones after that i boxed myself for a while then discovered drink and drugs(like any young man should).Then Nigel Benn came along and i have been hooked ever since.

    the first boxing fight i saw was tyson v.s holyfield II (which was in 1997 (i think) , after seeing that fight i started getting hooked on boxing.. but in 2000 was when i was really getting into boxing when i bought knockout kings 2000. i started researching some of the boxers and then thats how it started, after it i started watching espn classic fights.

    My family loves boxing and I just grew up watching it from a s early as I can remember.The 80s is what did it for me. People like Duran, SRL, Hagler, Hearns, Chavez, Tyson and Pea.

    ali/frazier 1 got me into boxing........i remember the older guys on the block talking about them. i was about 8 yrs old at the time. next day's paper had a pic of frazier's face all puffy and lumped up and i got mad. that's when i became a fan of frazier and of boxing in general. ali/frazier 2-3 really got me into it.

    I really started to get into boxing when tyson came back from prison. Then I started following the careers of Lennox Lewis, Holyfield, Oscar De La Hoya, B-Hop, Roy Jones Jr, Felix Trinidad, Shane Mosley, Vargas etc.
